::: Pa Toroki. The Heavenly Banquet :::


Story  Story
Story!
Once upon a Time
Time time!

“Pa Toroki and his kind lived in the notorious Tortoise street Nr. 17. The street was well known. There was nobody in the community who didn’t know Tortoise Street Nr.17. Its occupants were known to be very clever but devious and cunning…”




I can go on and on and on…
I remember the days we used to sit in a circle around the fireplace after dusk and listened to beautiful tales, with fascinated eyes and hungry souls, trying to catch every bit. 
With the sparks from roasted corns, plums and cocoyams reminding us it was time to get them out of the fire. 
The atmosphere was one of its kind, filled with that spirit of adventure of the African child. 
This book is a perfect chance to reminisce about those old, cherished but not forgotten days.
 A perfect tool, for education and creativity. A perfect imagery of Africa, my beautiful Africa
The colorful narration and smoothly flowing texts will keep you dumbfounded right through till the end of the story.
For those with a Cameroonian or African background, they are childhood stories and part of you, which you will definitely want to share with your kids. Try it out and let’s hear the good news.
For those hungry to feed their mind about what African story telling is all about, this is a perfect opportunity.

:::Nobody is getting it all right!!!:::

“ Having a low opinion of yourself is not "modesty". It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not "egotism".
